Summary:
The 24127 zip code area is home to two schools - Craig County High and McCleary Elementary, both part of the Craig County Public Schools district. While Craig County High stands out as a high-performing school, both institutions face socioeconomic challenges with a predominantly white student population and high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Craig County High excels academically, outperforming the state average in several subject areas, including Algebra I, Biology, and English Reading. The school boasts a 100% proficiency rate in 8th grade Algebra I and an 87.88% proficiency rate in Biology, significantly higher than the state averages. Additionally, Craig County High maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, which is lower than the state average.
In contrast, McCleary Elementary performs above the state average in 3rd grade Mathematics but struggles in other grade levels and subjects. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (75.36%), indicating a relatively low-income student population. McCleary Elementary also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 11.7, which is higher than the state average. Both schools have a remarkably homogeneous student population, with over 98% of students identifying as white, which may be an area for further exploration and potential improvement.
